Scarlett Johansson had not attended the Cannes Film Festival since she was 20 years old. Surprisingly, her appearance suggests that nearly two decades have effortlessly slipped away. Johansson gracefully graced the red carpet for the highly anticipated global debut of her latest cinematic venture, “Asteroid City,” directed by the acclaimed Wes Anderson. It is worth noting that Anderson tailored a role specifically for Johansson, intertwining reality and fiction, as she portrays an actress within the movie who herself is an actress. With her radiant presence, Johansson proves once again why she is a two-time Oscar nominee.
Johansson is now venturing into the world of entrepreneurship in real life. After conducting five years of research, the former L’oreal Paris spokesperson collaborated with entrepreneur and ex-fashion and beauty executive Kate Foster to launch The Outset in 2021. Unlike other celebrity beauty lines that bear their names, Johansson decided to create a brand that showcases clean, uncomplicated, and reasonably priced products that stand out without relying on her celebrity status. The products from The Outset boast incredible hydration and incorporate a plant-based alternative to hyaluronic acid known as Hyaluroset, a term coined by Johansson and Foster.
In a video for ELLE.com, Johansson expresses her admiration for the Firming & Plumping Vegan Collagen Serum while preparing her skin for an important event. She praises the serum for its exceptional moisturizing properties and notes that unlike other products containing hyaluronic acid, it does not cause pilling or leave a sticky feeling. She specifically highlights the use of a vegan alternative to hyaluronic acid in the serum. Johansson’s trusted makeup artist, Frankie Boyd, enthusiastically adds that the serum is highly effective at adding plumpness to the skin and gives it a hydrated, radiant appearance.
When it comes to her makeup, Johannson has a preference for Pat McGrath Labs products, particularly when it comes to choosing her foundation for a flawless base. Starting with a beautiful canvas is key to achieving excellent makeup results. Boyd, the makeup artist, reveals that Scarlett’s skincare routine is exceptional, which allows him to enhance her natural radiance with minimal coverage and maximum hydration for a fresh and vibrant look. To complement the surreal atmosphere of her Prada campaign, Boyd adds a touch of rebellion with a bold Red-Orange lip, creating a striking contrast against the pink dress and adding a playful element. By keeping the eyes clean and glossy, with a gentle spikey lash to draw attention to Scarlett’s natural eye shape, her features are beautifully accentuated.
Johansson is quite familiar with being in the limelight, and we couldn’t help but wonder about the secrets behind her camera-ready charm. The New York native graciously shared with ELLE.com an insider look into her prepping, priming, and glamorous routine for this important event. Continue scrolling for all the juicy details!
